Nick,

I made a new experimental .deb 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gramps/files/Unstable/

but I still do not understand where ResourcePath should be set! 

Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug  1 2012, 05:16:07) 
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import gramps.grampsapp as app
ResourcePath.ERROR: Resource Path /home/jerome/gramps40/deb_dist/gramps-4.0.0alpha5/debian/python-gramps/usr/share is invalid

I tried to use GRAMPS_RESOURCES environment variable on launcher too, but I never get the valid path... :(
I thought on '/usr/share' (for locale, icons, xml files, etc ...).

Also, I cannot manually edit the file (or to remove it) because there is a md5sum check on .deb generation.

The post install script is working after fixing the minor syntax issue.
So, this part should be OK:

#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Automatically added by dh_pysupport
if which update-python-modules >/dev/null 2>&1; then
	update-python-modules  python-gramps.public
fi
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_installmime
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ -x "`which update-mime-database 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
	update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
fi
# End automatically added section
# Automatically added by dh_icons
if which update-icon-caches >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
	update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/gramps.png
fi
# End automatically added section

Otherwise, Debian wants 'dh_python2'[1].
I am still using the 'old' debhelper. :(
I suppose that this experimental .deb is for Ubuntu only!
